Microsoft this morning cut an additional 3,000 jobs from its workforce around the world, saying it has now completed almost all of the 18,000 job cuts that were announced by CEO Satya Nadella in July.
About 638 of the job cuts are in the Seattle region. That brings the regional total to more than 2,700 positions cut by the company in its home region in the three rounds of layoffs. Microsoft employed more than 42,500 people in the Seattle region as of the end of September.
“We’ve taken another step that will complete almost all the 18,000 reductions announced in July. The reductions happening today are spread across many different business units, and many different countries,” a Microsoft spokesman said in a statement released by the company.
